Right on man, I've always thought that your car was one of the sharpest cars on this site. Nice to see that the interior is as sharp (& modded) as the driveline - def. magazine-worthy (IMHO).

one of the best looking third gen birds'
imo a 4th gen ls1 ram air hood would make it look even more aggressive.
congrats and thanks

Thanks everyone! I couldn't be happier with the conversion.

I actually got my first V8 back in '99, but it took this long to get this car upgraded.

Congratzi! That is one beautiful third-gen. Your story is an inspiration to the 3rdgen-lsx crew. Right on!

I was at the Southern Trans Am Regionals in Destin this past spring, that's where HPP saw the car. The car was finished in Feb and I think the show was in April. I shipped it to Germany a few weeks after the show, so I didn't have a chance to take it anywhere else.

It's been a blast to drive over here, I even took it to Nurburgring a month ago! I have it on video, but I can't load it on Youtube because my internet connection sucks I'm still trying though, I'll post the link when it's done.
